There were at least 15 or so FTers in chat around 8:00 - 9:00 last evening.... I was one of them.
Chat picks up at around 11:15PM on the east coast.

I am so screwed. I used to participate a lot when west coast-based and then sporadically because the time zone worked for me, but now I'm east coast timezone & I'm in sleepyland (normally) by 11pm. So odds are I'll be on less than in years past - ie, hardly ever. In fairness it is due to my getting up at the crack of dawn to deal w/ Europe, but again easier to do chat when I was west coast & crack of dawn was also easier. Cheers.

Actually I was thinking today. In years past, East coast folk would actually come on earlier & there were more like 2 chat timezones - East/Midwest were more like 8-9pm & West/Asia/Oz were 10pm-12am, with some of the east/midest staying up late. Now it just seems to have evolved to late w/ FT. Realize this has zero to do w/ TB or even ORP, but thought it interesting. Cheers.
